A lot of people in this thread are asking for a reputation/"verified user" solution for this, but really I think just pulling a gazillion dependencies for applications is just all around bad. I actually think having a reputation system would be even worse, because people would see it and assume that reputation is a guarantee of safety. Trust without verification is where issues can become even worse.
- alxlaz 4y agoBased on my experience with shady plug-ins for e.g. Photoshop back in the late 90s/early 00s, all that a reputation/"verified user" solution is going to achieve is a very lucrative black market of high-reputation/verified user profiles and credentials.
